Lyrics:
There's a secret I've never told,
Of how I sold my soul,
Darkness festered within my skin
I gave away to sin
In exchange, My heart grew cold
For my desire to never get old
(Yeahh)
There’s evil in me, that I embrace
I wear my guilt across my face,
My sins laid bare, I'm a disgrace.
These scars I bare, I can't erase
In my portrait reveals the truth,
The key to eternal youth,
Forever beautiful, retain my vanity
Layers of fear, lead into insanity
I suffer with afflictions
I walk a path paved in crucifixions.
I’m aware of my contradictions
Ruled by pride, and convictions
(I can't help myself, I can't help myself!)
I'm too far gone, it's an addiction
In my portrait reveals the truth,
The key to eternal youth,
Forever beautiful, retain my vanity
Layers of fear, lead into insanity
My reflections show decay
Of all the values that I betray
In my portrait shows an ugly face
Have I become the monster in its place?
RIP AWAY THE LAYERS
RIP AWAY THE MASK
TAKE AWAY
MY MISTAKES
TAKE AWAY THE PAIN
In my portrait reveals the truth,
The key to eternal youth,
Forever beautiful, retain my vanity
Layers of fear, lead into insanity
(PLEASE FORGIVE MY SINS)

I absolutely enjoyed this song, top notch production, writing, huge sound and the vocals are AMAZING!...And oooh ::chef's kiss:: the adjacency of the lyrical subject matter of Oscar Wilde's iconic novel in today's post-modern climate of vanity and isolation,🖤🖤

[@Grimfel]

Thanks so much for your comments 🪞🖤 I tried doing a slight re-imagining whilst keeping the the main aspects of Dorian Gray. Music videos are hard with Pika with the defects but was really happy with how this song turned out 😅

Grimfel('s) striking vocals have amazing versatility, able to go from a silky smooth alto, into blasting off with a demonic laden ground-shaking vibrato. It's indeed a beautiful thing to behold....!!!! I actually feel, as if, I'm wandering around the Basil Hallward Manor itself; however, it's a cautionary tale that's sorely missing from today's World, because youthful beauty only goes skin deep. Disingenuous Artistic Perfection + Money + Astonishing Beauty = A self-imposed 'Curse' There's a fragility in itself, which can seemingly lead to a 'false sense of security' for the most part of a teenager's fleeting years. Most of my patients have a deeply felt sense of low self-esteem related to their looks, who've been bullied by the good looking and popular kids. It's always a delight to have a stylist provide them an intervention makeover.

Thanks always appreciate your words. 🖤 I'm glad you noticed the pitch shifts 😃I did a sort of re-imagining of Dorian Gray. In a way that I felt would fit the song. The idea that someone would kill to have that kind of immortality. That kind of vanity most people chase. It's a sad affair that many get caught in that chase. I feel the younger generation are unfortunately exposed to these superficial values that generally leave one feeling inadequate or never fulfilled. Like you said, a self-imposed curse. I can imagine that pressure being quite brutal. Stylists helping show them that they can have a makeover and reinvent themself must be quite liberating for them.

@@Grimfel Oh, it's a great feeling indeed to facilitate positive change in someone. Usually, these teens have attempted suicide multiple times, but my credentials allow me to have a patient change to different schools within the greater Los Angeles, School District ― I'm especially hated by them. In one phone call, the principal didn't hang-up his phone correctly, so the School Board had conveyed a special session, while I chewed them up and spit them back out, so I'm labeled as: "A pathological activist for wimpy-kid's that can't hack life ― He's an Occult Leader" I record all my phone calls, so they were rightly embarrassed when I replayed the comment back to them in a public school board meeting....!!!! Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel is a fantastic example of Gothic Horror, but I collect very rare books, so a first edition sits on my shelf. I'm a huge Anne Rice fan, of course; but, I always thought she adopted many of the same characteristics within Lestat dé Lioncourt, who's male beauty was unsurpassed. Lestat was literally a Prince of France (the spare, if you will). His beauty was so much so, that Lestat's mentor Marius kept obsessively painting the same boy over and over again. Marius became so haunted by Lestat's mental image that he searched the entire world for him. Marius found Lestat locked away, crying, all alone, and afraid of everything after Vampire Magnus had kidnapped and repeatedly rapped Lestat and forced the Dark Gift upon himself. This mirror's the trauma I had dealt with regarding my own father. I was so humiliated and embarrassed that I kept this knowledge hidden away from everyone until his death: He did the same to my sister as well, but I still never ever told her. The image of a tall, attractive, long-haired Native American teenage boy, who should have been full of joyous freedom, became trapped within myself ― Eventually, festering into a venomous man. The Tribal Elder's observed me and had me take care of some horses, but when I would ride them at full gallop ― That freedom came to bear as I'd scream out loud into the wind. Always wearing black they named me "Raven Shadow" the black rider on a white horse. The term "rebellious" doesn't even come close to what I had become and self-hatred is a poison that continues to stay in the bloodstream. Adam, you have no idea how much these lyrics punctuated a deeply imbedded truth inside myself. It's almost, as if, your description of Dorian Grey was tailor fitted to suite myself. Sometimes music can reignite and facilitate those long forgotten memories to surface once again; but nevertheless, I learned how to tame those monsters which still lurk inside me. We sat down and had tea together, so I could let them that "this was my time to show" and no longer "theirs". Adam you do touch people..... !!!!
